Clue/Question:  Before installing their new landscaping, they did some – – –

Answer:  GROUNDWORK

(I guess I never noticed that groundwork was a compound word before.  Maybe they should make compoundword a compound word.  Why not?  I guess today’s Jumble answer is a literal/figurative pun.

No new clue words today.  But, all of the jumbles appear to be new.  I was able to see them all immediately though.  The answer letter layout was a nicely cryptic ten letter jumble.  It did a good job of disguising the final answer.  I’d have to attribute the cartoon’s dialog as the big clue to the final answer.

Fine suburban couple cartoon.  I didn’t initially pick up on the back of the pickup.  I just thought everything was on the ground.  Maybe, this is a new house for the couple!  How nice for them.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
